HOUSING RESOURCES

The Housing Experience

At UC Santa Cruz students are housed in small-scale residential communities providing smaller, close-knit living environments. Live-in student and professional staff members provide orientation, support services, safety and crisis response, and a variety of social, educational, and cultural programs for residents.

First year students generally live in their college’s residence halls. Residence halls have common bathrooms and a combination of shared and private bedrooms. Our college has apartments as an option in subsequent years.

Common Housing Questions

Your housing assignment will be sent to your UCSC e-mail account by mid-August (or mid-December for new winter students). The e-mail will include your hall name, room type, and roommate information. Move-In information will also accompany your housing assignment.

Every room comes furnished with an extra-long twin bed (80″x36″), desk, chair, closet/dresser or warbdrobe unit, and a bookcase or bookshelves. For more information on what’s included, be sure to check out What to Bring and What Not to Bring to College.
The housing contract is valid for the entire academic year. Once your application is confirmed by the University, your application becomes a legally binding contract.
Each student has a University billing account with UC Santa Cruz. Invoices will be posted on your student portal at my.ucsc.edu each month there is activity. The first housing bill for fall quarter is generated in late August. For new winter admits the bill is generated in December.

You will be able to receive mail and packages at your college’s mail room. You will receive your mailbox number after you arrive on campus to move into your room. Due to limited space, it is not possible to have mail sent to the University prior to your arrival. Packages and mail sent to the University prior to new student move-in will be returned to sender, so be sure to have it arrive after you do.

Students wishing to update their housing application/preferences after submitting their application should contact the Housing Coordinator at crownmerrillhousing@ucsc.edu.
